Are you planning a Memorial Day weekend road trip? Here are a few safety tips to help make traveling with your pets a breeze!
Road Trip Tips:
- Update Identification - Make sure that your pet is wearing secure and up-to-date ID tags when traveling. This will ensure that in the unfortunate event your pet does run off while you are traveling, they can be safely returned to you.
- Make Frequent Stops - Make sure that you stop frequently on a long road trip. This will provide your pet with plenty of opportunities to go to the bathroom and to stretch their legs! Just make sure that they are always on a leash and wearing a collar.
- Stay Hydrated - Provide your pet with fresh water at each rest stop. Since traveling can sometimes be tough on your pets stomach, provide them well small amounts of water - like an ice cube.
- Never Leave Your Pet Unattended - Never leave your pet alone in a parked car, no matter what the weather is like outside. On hot days cars can become a furnace very quickly.
- Keep Pets Secure Inside - While your pet might like to stick his or her head out of the window, it's important that you keep your pet in a crate or with a harness attached to the seat buckle. When they stick their heads out of the window, they can be injured by flying objects.
